Messy Threads

Did you hear that Shimmerz Siren Call? Yep, that was me, Joyce, calling out to you
to share in my art design team journey with the luscious Shimmerz Paint
products. Let me share my newest Exquisite Gown page with you on the Shimmerz Paint Blog.

The cooler weather and cool color palette inspires me. This is quite a simply page, but using
monotone colors sometimes can pack a punch of textures and delight.

This photo of a lovely lady in her soft billowing dress in a
winter forest is surrounded by Shimmerz cool color palette of the following
products and colors found at Shimmerz Paint Store:

Spritz: Rocka Fella Blue

Spritz: See Ya Latte

Vibez: Deep Sea Blue

Vibez: Cold As Ice

Paste-eez: Salt of the Sea

Creameez: Marshmellow

Paper Techniques: 9 x 12 Watercolor paper was moistened with
a spritz of water; then a spritz of spray of Rocka Fella Blue and lightly dabbed
off with a moistened sea sponge to leave a mottled effect; let product dry
completely; repeat the same process to
add more depth; add a spritz of spray of both Deep Sea Blue and Cold As Ice and
lightly dab off with a moistened sea sponge and let products dry completely. After all the above, I embossed some white
stamp work for texture. After all the spray work, some separated splatters of
Marshmellow, Rocka Fella Blue and watered down gesso were applied to the paper.

White snowflakes: These were created with a stencil and the
dimensional paint Pastee-eez Salt of the
Sea. Some diamond dust was added on top
of the dimensional paint to make them shimmer.

Snowflake Chipboard:
Some Gum Arabic was added to some Rocka Fella Blue Spritz to add some
stability to paint with on top of the snowflake chipboard pieces on both sides
of the photo.

Textured elements: And finally, Rocka Fella Blue and See Ya Latte
were added to some white mulberry fiber paper for a little texture.

And, if you’re wondering if I really sew that badly, well
no…not really, but sometimes a happy accident can add so much interest.

Come back and visit me on February 15th for more Shimmerz Paint inspiration!
